Now You See Me Is Topping the Charts on Starz 12 Years Later

The 2013 heist film Now You See Me is currently the most popular movie on Starz in the U.S., according to data from FlixPatrol.

The films Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 star Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco as a team of illusionists known as the Four Horsemen. They commit daring bank robberies during their performances and give the stolen money to their audience. Both movies have recently been popular choices for streaming, and were popular before that as well.

Despite mixed reviews that called it more flash than substance, the movie Now You See Me was a financial success. It earned $342 million worldwide on a $75 million budget. While it only received a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, classifying it as ‘rotten,’ the film’s blend of magic tricks and elaborate heists clearly appealed to audiences.

The first film did so well in theaters that Now You See Me 2 was released three years later. The series then paused for nearly ten years before returning just this past weekend.

Louis Leterrier directed the movie Now You See Me, which was written by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin, and Edward Ricourt. The film features Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher, along with Mark Ruffalo, Mélanie Laurent, Comon, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman.

Now You See Me 3’s Box Office Success Sets Up the Series’ Future

The recent surge in popularity of Now You See Me on Starz is probably because the first new installment in nearly ten years was released this weekend. It earned $21.3 million, showing that audiences still enjoy magical crime thrillers even after all this time – more than a decade since the original films featuring the Four Horsemen. This success naturally raises questions about what the future holds for the Now You See Me franchise.

The team is still writing the next installment, promising another exciting, globe-trotting adventure with magic, heists, and performances. Director Ruben Fleischer, who worked on Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is returning to lead the project, and the story will continue to follow the eight talented magicians.

You can currently watch Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 on Starz and Peacock. The third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is out in cinemas now.
